I assume they recover all associated costs from the door manufacturer, if they just repaired and repainted and it reoccurred, which is happening to replacement doors, the manufacturer could say 'not our problem its the repair'.

My dealer, JCT600, told me they have already replaced replaced doors. The problem hasn't been solved. I've had both doors and tailgate replaced this year, 2022 build.

GRP sleeves fitted on my sports suspension 3.5ltr.

Put the Toyota GR Yaris 1.6 unit in and it would be approximately 130kg lighter, add the hybrid system and it wouldn't be too much more than it weighs now. That unit can go 600 bhp+ with different turbo, cams, springs and intake. All depends on what they use.

Though not being able to pass new, and crazy, emissions will kill it off.

Toyota GR Yaris has a 1.6l turbo engine putting 280 bhp as stock, with minor add ons and tunes thats been taken to 450 + bhp, with internal changes eg cams 650 bhp is easily achievable. The positive news is production is likely which means spare parts will be available too, including body...

Seneca blue tailgate replaced a month ago and can't see any colour difference. The paintshop told me Verdant Green was the hardest colour to match up.

The spec of my 2023 V6, sport, manual is now £106,750/€123,500 here in the UK, with an additional £4,500 ish in 1st year road tax. Used models with a couple of 0000 miles are in the £62,000/€70,000.

Oh, and don't forget the new VED prices adding 0000s £on first registration. All if based in the UK of course.

Good grief, no. If you must have one get a used one with a 3rd party warranty. Some dealers are now part of a Car Care Plan warranty scheme for cars coming out of Lotus warranty. Jon Seal sports cars, advertise on here, are offering a 3rd party warranty via a trusted partner. Lotus are...

Panels manufactured by an international, Japanese owned company. They would no doubt be footing the bill for the whole cost of replacements.

Why do some think production will move to high labour cost US and not Chyna? It makes more sense to use cheap labour, very cheap energy costs and the local supply chain that Geely clearly possess. I did post a couple of weeks ago that the above and Lotus going into administration was likely...

Promoted to a new role in a different country then kicked out. Different employment laws offering less protection to him?

So 'Durham' in Canada, not the original in England? 🤣

Totally agree with time event 9f service. Of course oil deteriorates over time but not 12 months. It is a way for manufactures to get out of warranty issues if you haven't kept up to their guidelines which I think is the main reason.

The potholes would have wrecked his car and the speed cameras caught him out dozen times. 🙄

1 dealer offered me £45k for my blue, 1350 miles, manual sport. 😂😂😂

I think the rear duck tail is the weak spot of the whole kit, the front lip, diffuser and side skirts suit the car. Sales manager at the dealers said they were initially told that Lotus would be providing a bodykit, hence the OEM fitting holes, but it only appeared on the GT cars they sold. I...

Did sport suspension come with only Michelin Cup 2's, yours has Goodyear. Perhaps a claim for a new set of tyres due to their error is in order? 🤔😏

Not driven the tour so have nothing to compare with, but from what I've read there isn't a huge difference to sport.

Just what I thought. I expected around £56/7k from a dealer as they'll put it up at £63kish make a bit of profit and look to sell the finance to purchase, no problem with that.

Confirmed with Lotus dealer that 2nd service is due December, they have it down that the car was in storage for its 1st 15 months, so records have been amended with no problem. Price, 1 non Lotus dealer has offered £56k as is, another offered £45k as, I quote, 'manuals and sport suspension...

350 miles since the first 1,000 mile service done.

7 months having all the known problems sorted, waiting for parts etc.

In storage for for 14 months with 24 miles on it, at dealers for 7 months, dash saying 2nd service in Jan '26. Body kit is marmite.

Thoughts on expected price via dealer and/or advertising on Autotrader? 1st Edition, manual, Sport suspension, Cup 2 tyres, ice grey interior. 1,350 miles (1st service done, Lotus dealer not recommending 2nd until Jan '26) 2023 reg All updates and recalls done Both doors and tailgate replaced...

Anything is possible with the right amount of cash and the will to do it.

I recently configured my 1st Edition and it would now cost £106,750. Quite the jump from the £87k 2 years ago.

For a 1st try the Cyberster got pretty good overall reviews, not sold as an outright sports car but has the speed, looks and equipment. Under £60k with 7 yr warranty. I imagine their next revision will up the anti and I've been told that ICE are back on the table.

As a business/financial decision it is a logical thing to do. First time owners of Lotus who bought into the Emira will no doubt not buy another Lotus and look for something else in time, those who appreciate the Lotus brand and its history will still buy. Geely have sunk massive amounts of...

Lotus will no doubt be in administration before long, assets then bought by another Geely company everything and shifted to China. Perhaps the design team will stay in Britain. All debt wiped out, all assets bought for pennies on the £, no expectation to honour any warranty on previously sold...

Bell & Colvill stopped out of protest at the direct sales Lotus iniated. They have also set up a warranty via a 3rd party, not as good as the equivalent Porsche one by any means but.... Lotus will be offering a warranty via Car Care Plan soon.

A Cayman GTS 4.0 as close as possible spec with options, even paint colour, to my Emira. Mine now on the Lotus site is £106,750 due to the options you now pay for. £20k difference pays for insurance, road tax, fuel and extended Porsche warranty for 5+ years. The Emira was meant to be a Cayman...
